2023 Lexus RX Launched At Rs 95.80 Lakh - The Spindle Body SUV
2023 Lexus RX SUV launched at Rs 95.80 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Lexus RX for India is offered in two trim levels - RX350h Luxury and RX500h F-Sport+.
The Lexus RX350h Luxury is priced at Rs 95.80 lakh while the RX500h F-Sport+ commands a price tag of Rs 1.18 crore (all prices mentioned are ex-showroom). Both variants feature petrol-electric hybrid powertrains.
The 350h Luxury variant of the new Lexus RX for India draws power from a 2.5-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine and a single electric motor. The engine is paired with a CVT automatic gearbox.
This RX350h Luxury's all-wheel drive hybrid powertrain pushes out 245bhp and 242Nm of peak torque. This allows the Japanese SUV to sprint from 0-100km/h in just 7.9 seconds and continue onward to a top speed of 200km/h.
The RX500h F-Sport+ opts for a turbocharged 2.4-litre petrol engine and a single electric motor. The F-Sport+ variant also ditches the CVT for a more conventional 6-speed automatic gearbox that sends power to all four wheels.
The Lexus RX500h F-Sport+ hybrid powertrain produces 366bhp and 460Nm of peak torque. The RX500h F-Sport+ sprints from 0-100km/h in just 6.2 seconds and has a top speed of 210km/h.
The fifth generation of the Lexus RX is 4,890mm long, 1,920mm in wide and 1,650mm tall and sports a 2,850mm long wheelbase. The new-gen Lexus RX is slightly longer and wider than its predecessor and most of the added space is seen inside the cabin.
In terms of design, the new RX is an evolutionary update over its predecessor. The front end now sports the Spindle Body design first showcased by the brand with the RZ electric SUV.
The new RX SUV in its F-Sport+ guise features the F-Sport body kit and two exclusive colour ways - Heat Blue and White Nova in addition to the six colours shared by the two variants of the SUV.
The new Gen 5 RX also gets a massive 14-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with support for Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay. Also seen are a wireless phone charger, a panoramic sunroof and a heads-up display.
